The 80-hectare Ashino Park features a lake surrounded by approximately 2,200 sakura, including somei yoshino and satozakura varieties, which date back to 1934 when the first 500 trees were planted. The Tsugaru Railway Line runs through the park, and the train tracks and station are also lined with sakura forming a tunnel of blossoms that shower visitors with pale pink petals. The Sakura Festival is held during the Golden Week holidays at the beginning of May.
